Wow it’s no parsing at all. I didn’t say I was fine with it either...you made that up too. What I’m fine with is following the law.
It’s what the law clearly said. No parsing. Nothing left to interpretation at all.
A mother under the age of 18 had to have been living in the US for five years prior to the birth. 0bama’s mom did not meet those conditions. Hence 0bama was not born a citizen per the law. Cruz however does meet the conditions required by law at the time of his birth hence he does meet the lawful definition.
I don’t know why you’re fine ignoring the law. You don’t have to like it and you clearly do not. But the law is the law.
Argue whether you think the law should be different if you like..,but simply ignoring the law is dumb.
What difference does the age of Obama’s mother make. If he was born in Hawaii as he states, he was born on American soil of an American mother.
